Environmental stewards program and River Restoration Program - Michael Rendon...rshimoda2014
The health of American rivers is essential to the communities and environments that depend on the beneficial ecosystem services provided. Historic impacts from mining, dams, and a variety of land use practices have left many river environments and riverside communities with a legacy of polluted waterways, erosion, and habitat degradation. With an increasing need to address river health it is essential to engage young adults in this work to conserve and preserve these resources for the future. Through emerging opportunities, young adults can learn skills, gain understanding, and physically work to restore and protect river systems. Programs- like those of the Southwest Conservation Corps- are working with partners to engage this population in various ways, providing much needed job training and education through stewardship.
Michael Rendon will present on Southwest Conservation Corp’s Environmental Stewards program, highlighting past successes and engagement models for DOI Bureaus and non-profits interested in obtaining a Steward. Showcased will be Inyo County’s work on the Lower Owens River Project, along with a Sturgeon habitat restoration project with the USGS Great Lakes Science Center that was nominated for the 2013 Secretary of the Interior Partners in Conservation Award.
Mike Wight will discuss collaborative work with corps programs and partnerships furthering multi-year, watershed-length habitat restoration initiatives on major tributaries in the Colorado River Basin. Word crews and interns provide much of the hands-on restoration implementation within these initiatives after completing comprehensive training.
In all three of these programs, participants foster a respect for river systems while gaining valuable work experience and building resumes for future conservation careers.
The Southwest Conservation Corps empowers individuals to positively impact their lives, their communities, and the environment.
Education is key to ensuring the sustainability of our environment and natural resources, and conservation districts play a vital role in cultivating the next generation of conservation leaders. Join us for an engaging discussion on conservation education, featuring NACD’s Stewardship and Education initiatives and the NCF-Envirothon program. NACD and the NCF-Envirothon provide conservation districts with initiatives and resources for outreach to students, K–12 grades. This hands-on session will provide an overview of NACD’s Stewardship and Education program which develops conservation education tools for districts and the public, and NCF-Envirothon, an international environmental and conservation academic competition that builds leadership experience for high school students. Hear from a panel of speakers during a roundtable discussion on their work with conservation education outreach initiatives and Envirothon programming and participate with questions, discussion and
interaction.
This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie
It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.
